The Temperance Lecture Of Hon. John
B. Finch IN GresnvilIe.
Baptist Courier.

The ladies composing the Woman's
Christian Temperance Union never
did q better thing for the cause in
which they are so deeply interested
than when they secured the services
of Hon. John B, Finch to lecture in
Greenville. Mr.. Finch was an en-.
tire stranger to nearly every one in
our city, but lie has completely won
the regard and esteem of our citizens
generally. His lectures are filed
with common sense and practically,
and his logical presentation Of the
great truths advocated by him can.
not be refuted. Wit and anccdote
are used by him with splendid
effect, but they never obscure
the argument he is making, nor
push aside the main point at which
he is aiming, which is to convince
his hearers that the liquor traffic is
an unmitigated evil, and that it is the
duty Of Christian men and women to
labor increasingly for its extermina.
ton.
The first lecture was delivered by
MIR. Finch on Saturday evening,
when the Opera House was comfort.
ably filed with ali Intelligent au.
dience, and for nearly two hours the
eloquent lecturer depicted the evils
of the. liquor business in this coun.
try. On Sunday afternoon, when
the audience was greatly increased,
and number Of persons were unable
to get standing room in any part of
the house, the lecture was mainly
devoted consideration of the
remedies .or the great evil of intcm.
perance. In both lectures there was
an absence Of abuse and dcnuncia.
ton. and an earnest effort to con
vince the understanding and per.
suade the attentive listeners to right
action. In order to accommodate
the people from the country, who
we're here in large numbers, it was
arranged for Mr.. Finch to lecture on
Monday afternoon, and the demand
for his services was 80 general that
he was compelled to lecture again on
Mon .ay night.

what tho Interstate Encampment Is
Expected to Accomplish.
Carolina Spaytan. Feb. 0tb

...... O'$'o'"t" 'opeotUH, rGO. OR.
Many people do not yet fully com.
prehcnd what the encampment is in.
tended to accomplish, and as it is a
new thing in the South, it may be
well to state few of the benefits
contemplated by the originators of
the scheme. 1t is to be an annual
meeting of farmers and manufac.
turers, lasting one to four weeks
as the interests of the occasion de.
mand. twill embrace all the fca.
lures of an agricultural fair and
stock show. Specimens Of farm, gar.
den and orchard products will be ar.
ranged for exhibition. The products
Of the forests will also be there.
Then the State exhibit, which in it.
self Is big show, will be sent here.
Manufacturers of all sorts Of agricul.
tural implements will have samples
of their work on hand. If the farm.
ers Of this and adjoining counties
take a lively interest in the matter
and build tents and move in for q
week or two, then the manufacturers
ana stock men from abroad will con.
gregate here.' They look upon a
large encampment as tho very best
place to advertise their goods. Apart
from the exhibition and sale Of agri.
cultural implements and fine stock,
there Will be other features that will
look more to the education of the
farmers. In the course of time there
will be lectures from men who unite
science with practice. Suggestions
will be made to farmers, Which will
set them to thinking. Then there
Will grow out of this a school for
cookery in which ladies may learn
how to cook and what to cook. 1t is
expected That the social feature of
these meetings will pay for all the
trouble of camping for week or
two. Farmers and their families
from different counties and States
osn meet here and become acquainted
with each other. This in itself will
be an important factor in the educa.
tion OF the young. 1t will afford a
vacation for tired wives. After wor
rying over the cooking and washing
and cleaning Of the family for seve.

Sense1ess War Talk.

A great deal Of unnecessary and
uniounded war talk has been indulged
in during the past week by the pub.
lication Of abstracts firm a report of
the adjutant general of the army on
the condition Of the State, pilitia
throughout the country. The mere
fact that a report on this branch of,
or auxiliary to, the army should 90
to Congress at this time appears to
have been all that was necessary, in
the light of the agitation Of q posi-.
BILE brush with Canada, to provoke
muoh talk of an imminent difficulty.
The fact is, that there is less likeli.
hood of trouble now with Great Brit.
ain, or any other country, than for a
quarter Of century.
This report on the condition of the
militia, showing that there are organ.
lied and ready for service nearly
eight millions Of men, is sent to
every Congress by statutory provis.
ion and has never attracted any at
tenti6n before. 1t has been consid.
cred but dusty paragraph for the
press associations and has never
risen to the dignity Of attracting at.
tention or comment from the special
correspondents. Just at this time,
however, anything which can be dis.
torted into subject of war comment
is grasped at like fish take a fly.
The reader should understand this
condition of affairs here and take the
statements they see about the prepa.
ratlons for war with the grain of al.
lowancc that they deserve.
1t is the belief of the men in Con.
gress and the departments that since
the United States have shown q dis.
position to strike back and demon.
strated Willingness to prepare to
fight, that we will have peace with
and fairness at the hands Of all na.
tions. In the event we get some gun.
boats and Notifications We can, it is
believed, command respect in all
quarters of the globe but there
are many nations which will expec.

the insult.

The Grange Epcampm ent.

The following letter will be sent
to the Masters Of the State Oranges
of our sister States by our Grange
Commissioners
Dear SIR and Bro:
Tho State Grange Of South Caro-.
lima at its recent annual session I'D
and Sd Feb, l8 y appointed the un.
dersigned as commissioners on its
part to meet similar commissioners
from the States Of Alabama, Georgia,
Tennessee and North Carolina, to
form and arrange board of man
agement and supervision of the Inter.
State Grange Encampment already
agreed upon by these respective
State Oranges, through the masters
Of the same. Ample grounds with
all needed buildings, railroad sidings,
water facilities, ETC., etc., have al.
ready been contributed free Of cost
by the liberal and public spirited
patrons and citizens Of the enter.
prising city and county OF Spartan.
burg. Direct and quick railroad
transit has been secured at the most
favorable rates allowed to any others.
This is to respectfully request that
you will at once arrange for the
three commissioners yourself and
two others) from your State Grange
to meet similar ones from the other
four States at tho city of Spartan.
burg, S. O., on the 9th day Of April,
1887, then and there to organize the
said fifteen commissioners into q per.
manent board Of management of the
said Interstate Grange Encamp.
ment. and to make all bylaws, rules
and regulations for conducting and
governing the same. The State of
South Carolina has instructed her
Commissioner Of Agriculture to make
an exposition of this department at
the Encampment, and appropriated
$1,000 to build a hall for the same.
The ground for this hall has been
donated by the Encampment com.
pany to the State, and the same will
be donated to any Of the other States
desiring to make exposition of their
resources. We most respectfully
and earnestly urge that your com.
missioners' shall meet the others at
the time and place stated without
fail, for it is of vital Importance that
everything shall be promptly done,
and in time to have the first annual
Encampment fully advertised in all
the Grange newspapers throughout
the Union. Let us hear from you as
soon as possible.
Very respectfully and fraternally,

outside Of the Incorporation. They
are now clearing this Off and will
soon erect tabernacle, with shingle
roof, that will accommodate large
crowd. A house will also be erected.
LOIS will be assigned for tents. The
grounds will be laid off regularly
and the Air Line road will put in all
necessary side tracks. The first meet.
ing will bo next summer. The com.
mttee asks citizens Of the county to
give material help in this matter. A
share in the association is only $40.
1t is not expected that the stock.
holders will make money, but if the
enterprise should fail the land will
belong to them. After it is once
started it will be self.supporting.
Our people should give all the assis
tance possible in starting the en-.
campment and placing it on a per.

WHAT Is NEEDED NOW .
From Address of Prof j. j. Mccain Of
Erskine College Before tho Y. M. G.
A. OF Duo West.


The Christian gentleman is much
needed now. He is needed to take
the place of defaulting cashiers and
presidents of banks; to take the
place of absconding trcasurers of
counties and States. He is needed
in the halls ofLegislaure and Con.
gress. He is needed in the school
room and at the editors desk, to as
sist in moulding public sentiment
that will frown upon whatever is dis.
honest and corrupting, and that will
be the best preserver of the liberties
and the institutions of our country.
The world recognizes this fact; and
the confidence which it places in men
of sound Christian character is its
testimony to the influence of the
Christian religion in making true
men. 1t pays to buy this truth and
sell it not; and pity the young man
who does not make it part Of his
outfit for successful life.
Another truth to which I wish to
cal, attention is that our oppor-
tunities are the visits Of angels to us.
We know not what we do wh.n we
neglect them, or fail to improve them.
1t is right here that so many young
men make the mistake that proves fa-
tai. They neglect their opportunities
to-day, but they expect to improve
them tomorrow; they neglect them
this year, but they are determined to
turn over new leaf and do better
next. But while they delay, precious
time slips by never to be recalled.
''To-morrow and tomorrow and to-mor-
Creeps in this pretty face from day to-
day,
To the last syllable of recorded timc":
and thus neglected opportunities lie
scattered along the track Of their
barren life as the bones of perished
animals and men along the caravans
track in the desert. Neglect be.
comes habit, habit becomes nature
and the fairest opportunities then
present themselves in vain.
1t is by granting opportunities to
men that God demonstrates to the
world the worth Of some and the
worthlessness of others, since moth.
ing shows more plainly the stuff that
we are made Of than the manner in
which we seize upon and turn TO &C.
count our opportunities. Caesar
showed the stuff that he was made of
by regarding it On opportunity for
writing his commentaries when he
was riding in his carriage at the rate
of a hundred miles a day. over
countries without roads and over
rivers without bridges. Elihuc Bur-
rift, one Of our own countrymen,
showed the stuff that he WAS made of
by learning no less than forty Ian
guages while working at the trade of
blacksmith, illustrating in this way
the very truth Of the poets words,
"Thus at the flaming forge of life
Our fortunes must be wrought;
Thus on its sounding anvil shaped
Each burning deed and thought"
